Thanks a million!

This is the best talk on public speaking that I've ever watched, and I've watched a lot of them. I can't believe I never thought of studying comedians to learn public speaking techniques. This talk is a gold mine.

​@@Applecompuser Everyone laughs until the joke is on them. He has tons of self deprecating jokes that people love but you can't handle it when the spot light is on you? It's extremely hard to be friends with someone who can't take a joke. None of it is mean spirited. Fragile snowflakes, we have become.

This was a well spent hour seeing this presentation. I came down the youtube rabbit hole to see this because he is so funny and walked away with a treasure in the Art of presentation.

Me too! And I was even TAKING NOTES! Even though I'm a senior citizen who does nothing and will never be making a presentation anywhere anytime! But I loved it!

He's so good at public speaking, such a relatable and approachable style, that you want to go hug him after the talk for just being an awesome person.

A 4 years old video like this having 44k views? That's the issue with the world. Loved every second of it.

I took David's online course, got his book, and I'm *still* learning great tips from him from this video. Thanks, David and Google!

His humor and easy to follow tips make this talk the most memorable on public speaking.

This was so enlightening. Am a big fan of David as a comedian, he has lived in many countries, so there's always something to learn from him. So much knowledge in his talks. This was no exception.

This guy is fantastic, everyone, whether in public speaking or not should watch it!

Without realizing it, I've used a bunch of these techniques when I had my first telemarketing job. At a job where the amount of people I talk to determines how much money is on my check, I took a overwritten script, listened and edited down to the bullet points. Some Emphasis and Inflection doubled my sales and was only 3 minutes long.

Best talk I’ve seen for years. What a delightful speaker sharing his great tips and wisdom. Thank you Google.

David, practical, actionable advice on how to give better speeches, and it's spiced with laughs! Thank you!

Amazing talk. One of the best I have seen!

Didn’t know that David wrote a book before the video. Great comedian.

This is pure gold. Thank you❤

Thank you very much to kind folks at Google. The presenters are all amazing people.

I've watched huge amount of Ted Talks... its refreshing to find another source of online wisdom. Well done Google and especially well done David Nihill! Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation especially as a CC Toastmaster.

I've taken communication, presentation, and public speaking seminars - this is the best training I have experienced. He's a genius - I'm going to get all his material and study it. His tips on speaking could help anyone who wants to give a presentation.

Anyone who gets you to think they are a genius at public speaking while public speaking is obviously a proven genius, right? But there is also a thing called the eye of the beholder. I notice you started out listing your credentials in your comment, before stating your opinion, so you might just have little bit of a self-esteem issue. Like your opinion wouldn´t be perfectly fine and interesting without the credentials... I, as the benevolent dictator of a small nation, that shall remain nameless for privacy reasons, hope you see how pointless self-proclaimed credentials can be in establishing trust or authority... I like your enthusiasm for the speaker and agree with it, but fear of public speaking and revering teachers might be symptoms of a low opinion of yourself, not the cause. I might be totally wrong, just a hack with nothing better to do at this particular moment.. In case you were wondering why it is there: The first statement I made was a non-sequitur (it was meant as a "reductio ad absurdum", initially, but I realised that might not be clear after re-reading).. I picked on your first statement, so it is only fair to pick on my own...a non-sequitur is an example of a phallacy. it means: "it doesn´t follow...". It´s a nifty little trick to convince people of something by making sentences that seem to make sense, because of their structure, but really don´t. logically.. If you think it through... 1) Just because someone is good at public speaking, doesn´t mean he is a genius, not even at public speaking, That just doesn´t follow from the observation.. First of, it´s opinion based... but even if he got an hour long standing ovation and we would accept that to mean he was subjectively good.... He might just be having a really good day... He might be trying to bomb and failing miserably.. We just don´t know.. It doesn´t follow. 2) And "genius" kind of suggests "good at everything". Even granted he might be a "genius" at speaking, also doesn´t mean that he is a genius didacticly. Even if he turned out to be a bona fide genius, huomo univeralis, polymath, modern day Leonardo, he might not be able (or willing) to teach you anything. There is a lot of that going on in self-help land and seminars etc.. It can cost you a lot of money, before you figure out that that´s the basis of that particular economical niche. It´s like saying anyone good at public speaking is obviously a great gardener.. Only then, it´s a bit more obvious that it doesn´t follow. That one would need a bit more wangling to sell the self help books. We do it in politics too: anyone with good tie is presumably a good leader. People are crazy that way.. Then I notice you said: "His tips on speaking could help anyone who wants to give a presentation" this is just a statement that is always true, because it always could... but it attempts to suggest something. Which to me says: You bought into it, so you want to convince people. Means you are uncertain.. That´s what evangelism is about, strength in numbers. Again.. not the strongest statement sefl-confidence wise. Usually this happens subconsciously. Evangelists don´t think they have a low opinion of themselves, because they are camouflaging it sooo well.. I can´t decide if I am being mean or practicing tough love, but this "could" really help you :) You spoke publicly and got heckled. Not the worst thing, that could happen. It says more about me, that you triggered me somehow, than it says about you, probably.. No if I would want to be mean I would have emphasized the YOU in the first statement.

The Memory Palace is so OP. Cicero famously used it to remember the name of all 3000 attendees at one of his speaches he also memorized hundreds of speeches and the smallest details of all his cases. And that was a normal thing for ancient rhetoritcians. They taught that stuff to tge wealthy in shool. Medival monks memorized entire libraries with it. Lots of people in the middle ages had memorized the entire bible with it because the church spread the technique because they couldn't afford to give the people access to books but still needed people who knew these things to be able to recrute as priests.

Great talk, loved the stories, only point of disagreement: you state delivery is secondary to content and forget that your voice volume, your higher or lower pitches, your pauses after a key point and your impersonation of other people are all, in fact, part of the delivery.

Damn, that was goooood!

So what stopped the actual anxiety? Was it simply repeatedly facing your fear? I qualified as a Pilates Instructor, but as I had such a huge panic attack during the mock physical assessment, I've never practiced professionally. I was fine physically demonstrating the exercises, I just couldn't control my wobbling voice enough to explain to the class what I was doing, then I couldn't stop shaking, and out of nowhere I turned into the angriest crying woman on the planet. I was furious with myself, I couldn't speak properly and I couldn't stop crying. I was absolutely fine the next day on the real assessment and I passed with flying colours, but my mental breakdown on the mock has completely put me off of the whole thing. Do I just have to repeatedly do it in order to stop the anxiety?

Usually panic disorder or anxiety disorder survivors use the "face the brute and stay there without running away" technique. Your limbic system (animal mind) gets into "fight or flight" mode and since you cannot fight a crowd, you want to run away. In extreme cases, your reptile mind (See "Triune Brain") freezes because reptiles usually get saved by freezing so that predators lie swooping birds cannot spot them when still. So you freeze. The trembling is your fight or flight from the mammal mind while the freeze is from your reptile mind. So you need to be in a position where you are facing a crowd but you don't have to speak. Arrange such a crowd or get yourself into a place where have to silently stand in front of a crowd (like in a church holding a holy candle or something) and let your mammal and reptile mind register the fact that the experience was not dangerous and there was nothing to be afraid of. Once your limbic system gets used to seeing 100 faces and being stared at by 100 pairs of eyes, public speaking will be just like normal speaking. The only thing is to get audience time where you ge acclimatized to the setting.

For a long time I thought pple stopping in the middle of a conversation and starting a story telling scheme was only tv show screenwriting technique. Then I visited USA for 6 weeks. I have to admit, I hate this thing and everyone using it tire me to no end. Using a personal little thing that happened to you and spinning it out of proportion as if it's delivering an universal and life-changing truth? Makes me wants to flee or to sleep :D Of course the best ones can trap you without you realising it.

His friends name is Arash if you didn't catch that through the thick of the irish ;) If you want to see his talk, here it is kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6F22ZSRkseporw.html He has proposed already, he is talking about how he got to do it. It is worthwhile listening to his talk I think ^^

1. Raise your voice 20% to capture the audience's attention. 2. Speak at a comfortable pace, but slow down for key points. 3. Memorize the first 30 seconds of your speech to make a strong start. 4. Use present tense storytelling to engage the audience. 5. Make use of props or gestures to bring your words to life. 6. Acknowledge any obvious issues or failures during your speech. 7. Avoid ending your speech with a Q&A session. 8. Review and evaluate your speeches to improve your delivery. 9. Incorporate humor into your speeches to engage the audience. 10. Use storytelling to connect with the audience on an emotional level. 11. Start with a personal story to grab the audience's attention. 12. Use techniques learned from comedians, such as the use of timing and delivery. 13. Cut out unnecessary content and focus on the key points. 14. Move on the stage and avoid being confined to a podium. 15. End your speech with a strong conclusion that leaves a lasting impression on the audience. Specific techniques: 1. Joke Structure: - Comedians use joke structure to make their jokes funny and engaging. - The key to joke structure is the setup and the punchline. - The setup provides the minimum amount of information needed for the audience to understand the joke. - The punchline is the key funny part of the joke that brings the laughter. - Comedians use misdirection and surprise to make their jokes funny. - The timing and delivery of the punchline is crucial for comedic effect. 2. Memory Palace Technique: - The memory palace technique is a memorization technique used to remember large amounts of information. - It involves associating information with visual images and placing them in familiar locations in a mental "memory palace". - This technique can be used to remember key points in a presentation or speech. - By associating each key point with a specific location or image in the memory palace, it becomes easier to recall the information during the presentation. - The memory palace technique can also be used to remember names, numbers, and other details. 3. The Rule of Three - It is a principle that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers. - It is a common comedic and storytelling device used to create rhythm and emphasis. - The concept is often applied in various forms of communication, including comedy, speeches, presentations, and writing. - The Rule of Three helps to create a pattern, build anticipation, and provide a satisfying resolution, making the content more memorable and impactful. Other Topics: - Taylor Swift - Public speaking fear - Content creation - Storytelling - Using humor in presentations - Visualizing information - Importance of practice and preparation in public speaking (I used my script to get some language model to generate this summary)

19:48 Also, the mandarin is a phrase, the portugese is a word. Not a hard word and a short word, compared to a rather longish phrase.. The mandarin has different tones etc.. There is a lot going on linguistically that might make it hard to remember.. Also Chinese has a reputation of being difficult. But he uses all this as a bit of stage magic to drive home a point that is basically very true. Making images is a memory technique that the really big memory athletes use all the time to do incredible stuff. I made the PEGS system out of it, because I found it´s easier to remember stuff, to PEG it into your memory.. if your images are Personal Emotional Goofy and Specific.. So in his bear and Cab example. What kind of bear was it.? It was hairy and big.. Specific. It was angry, Emotional, it tried to get intor the cab and couldn´t fit. Goofy.. The one thing missing, is.. he should make it personal, but look at it: he says YOU are at this cab.. It would have been better if YOU won the fight with the bear to get the cab eventually.. But he did it excellently. And last but not least it´s all not true, smoke and mirrors...I actually remember the Mandarin for "I would like a tax receipt "just fine (although I am not permitted to put it in the comments, because it will be flagged by the algorithm, which is why you probably won´t see it in the comments..), but he just told me I didn´t and I kind of nodded along.. Magic. Mentalism in this case. This guy knows his tricks..
